The PLANET MGB-SX2 is a Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-SX operation. Supporting a maximum data rate of 1000 Mbit/s and a 1310 nm wavelength, this module fits SFP-compliant ports and enables duplex data links over optical fiber. It is hot-pluggable and compatible with SFP MSA interfaces, allowing installation without interrupting host equipment operation. The MGB family extends link distances compared with copper connections and is suitable for use in PLANET switches with SFP mini-GBIC slots.

Advantages

The MGB-SX2 offers a compact SFP form factor that simplifies upgrades and replacements in SFP MSA-compliant devices. It provides reliable gigabit transmission over fiber, hot-pluggable convenience, and straightforward integration into existing networking equipment. The module is part of a product family designed to cover a range of link distances and industrial temperature options, allowing selection of appropriate transceivers for different deployment needs.

Suitable for

  • Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and enterprise networks
  • Fiber uplinks between switches and routers
  • Replacing or upgrading SFP ports in PLANET and other SFP-compliant devices
  • Short- to medium-distance fiber connections using 1310 nm optics

Key specifications

  • Brand: PLANET
  • Model: MGB-SX2 (MPN: MGB-SX2)
  • Form factor: SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable)
  • Standard: 1000BASE-SX (Gigabit Ethernet)
  • Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s
  • Wavelength: 1310 nm
  • Hot-pluggable: Yes
  • Compatible with SFP MSA-compliant ports
  • EAN: 4711213687594

How to use

Insert the MGB-SX2 into an available SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter while the device is powered on; the module is hot-pluggable and will be recognized by most SFP-compliant equipment. Connect the single-mode fiber cable to the LC connector of the transceiver, observe proper fiber handling and polarity, and verify the link status via the host device management interface. Configure network settings on the connected equipment as required for your topology.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate LC connectors and ensure clean fiber end-faces for optimal performance. Verify compatibility with the host device firmware if necessary and select transceivers from the same MGB family to match distance and temperature requirements.
